Odd, I'll take a look, can you paste the URL to the thumbnail to help  
me identify it?

Yeah, this is something I'd like in the future but haven't had chance  
to do yet, definitely something I want in the future.

I'm not actually sure what you mean by this, is it something I need to  
set up for the photos at openstreetmap.org mailing list?

Currently you see the image at max 1024 width/height, that's the  
biggest that is available, I recommend that you use a judgement call  
and mask out things if there's potential for them to be visible

Yes... we'll have to see what we can do in the future, I'd say  
automated masking with human verification might be one option.

I don't believe so, I'd say they were useful.

I suppose photos of the ground might be used as part of a 3D model but  
in general if it really does just look like a bit of gravel or  
completely sky then it's probably not useful. I'd say we don't want  
indoors photos, photos that are mainly inside a car or where the GPS  
is taking up most of the picture.... that said, we will need to allow  
photos of GPSes to be uploaded when we do server-side geotagging (i.e.  
uploading traces).
